1. What else is new? With the likes of Lybia's leader accepted
EST ,   Miami USA   (04.05.11)
in the council despite his oppressive rule? With the 52 Muslim nations at the UN? and the petro dollars they control....Of course they'll deny the findings of Goldstone now. They don't follow the UN's party line!
2. UN HUMAN RIGHTS ?? HA
whats new? ,   WORLD   (04.05.11)
RIGHT UNHUMAN RIGHTS
3. When Goldstone
Chaim   (04.05.11)
displayed his self-hating Jewish hatred towards Israel, his false reports were accepted. When he wakes up and regrets his foolish words and deeds against his own people and against G-d, the UN Animals Rights do not want to accept it. Clearly tells us whom we are dealing with: THE-UN-ANTI-SEMITIC-RACISTS. Nobody can deny this.
4. don't confuse them with facts, their minds are made up
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (04.05.11)
like all israeli concessions, anything negative about israel stands forever. even if later proven untrue. just another reason the useless UNHRC is corrupt beyond hope of redemption.
5. When Goldstone Came Clean, It Lost Its Teeth
Yishai Kohen ,   YeShA, Israel   (04.05.11)
So basically, it's over and done with.
6. RIGHT! UNHUMAN RIGHTS
WHATS NEW ,   WORLD   (04.05.11)
7. UNHRC is illegitimate, as well as UN.
Jules   (04.05.11)
Only countries with DEMOCRATICALLY elected leaders and/or parliaments must be allowed to form a new UN. Call it "United Democracies".
8. Good news
M.Lith ,   The Netherlands   (04.05.11)
Time to wake up, shalom ;-))
9. confirmation of their immorality.
ralph   (04.05.11)
10. Bibi said it best
zionist forever   (04.05.11)
This is the same UNHCR which Gaddafi's Libya was a member of. If they can make Gaddafi's Libya and member of the UNHCR and only SUSPEND not expel membership as a punishment for dropping bombs on civilians. What Goldstone has shown is not do they think Israel committed war crimes of some kind but that the new way of international thinking is Israel is not allowed to defend itself. Yes we don't like the fact Hamas are firing thousands of rockets into Israeli towns but thats no excuse to use force to protect its civilians. Once again the UN has shown that as far as they are concerned there is no place for Israel in this world.
11. It Said What They Want to Hear
superhero ,   Johannesburg RSA   (04.05.11)
Dont confuse the UN HRC with human rights. It all about croni-ism - entitlement of the new order in power.
12. Dutch people should shut up
Michel ,   Jerusalem   (04.05.11)
until they check what their army did in the ex-Yugoslavia.
13. Boo Who! END
james ,   uk/il   (04.05.11)
14. UN Human Right C. Missed it by a mile
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (04.05.11)
Look, these guys ignored or cherry picked the testimony they wanted to include, and what they wanted to ignore!! Anything to make sure they would arrive at a forgone conclusion. Israel was guilty BEFORE they went into the rigged council. Here is one bit They Ignored: "Colonel Richard Kemp Challenges Goldstone Report." Just copy and paste this phrase: (above), into your address bar at the top of your page, it will take you directly to the VIDEO, of Col. Richard Kemp who gave his testimony at the UN in front of the Human Rights Council. Truly incredible that it was completely ignored. But it did completely support Israel, so that is NO surprise. Watch the Video and comment on it. Thanks!!
15. Human Rights?
Harry ,   Toronto   (04.05.11)
Libya was chairman of the Human Rights Commission. That says it all! Disgusting!
16. #10 correction
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (04.05.11)
Gaddafi was not suspended from the UNHCR because he attacked civilians. Yemen, Bahrain, Syria, Saudi Arabia are much worse and it seems that Obama and Cameron have killed more Libyan civilians in their air attacks than Gaddafi did when fighting the "rebels". Gaddafi was suspended because Obama and Cameron decided to depose him. It is not clear why, but some have raised the possibility that Obama wants to steal Libyan oil.
17. You Can Try to Continue the Big Lie, but...
Dallas ,   Canada   (04.05.11)
... as the attempt continues, the perpetrator of the lie becomes more of a farce. Are there no standards of conduct to which UN members and its committees are to be held? Looks like not. And if that's true, what is the function of the UN anyway?
18. Judge Goldstone is about to embark
Paul ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (04.05.11)
on a road, whereby he will understand if he doesn't already, the true nature of his masters, and the devious ulterior-motives of this evil entity.
19. Human Rights - according to Gaddafi
Eddie ,   london UK   (04.05.11)
Wasn't Gaddafi head of the UNHRC at the time of the Goldstone report?
20. be sure not to let the truth get in the way of the facts!
Mike ,   Oxford UK   (04.05.11)
21. A committee of scoundrels
Stephen in New York   (04.05.11)
22. UNHRC & Goldstone
R Blum ,   NYC, US   (04.05.11)
1. If Judge Goldstone's perspicacity does not count, then why was he chosen to lead the inquiry? 2. If Goldstone's recognition of his own error only represents his "personal" best judgement, then his former ignorance best represents the view that the UNHRC would like to promulgate? 3. Who exactly is promulgating this ignorance, despite evidence to the contrary publically acknowledged by the investigator chosen by themselves, under the official aegis of the UN?
23. What would you expect from UNHRC?
Gene   (04.05.11)
Even Dick Goldstone in that same article described UN Human rights council as "skewed" against Israel.
24. UN is a stink hole, a cesspool
GZLives   (04.05.11)
and the US withdrawing its membership should be an issue in the next US Presidential campaign. Its an embarrassment to remain a member.
25. BIASED SAPEY THE SPOKESMAN.
(04.05.11)
26. Clear for years: UNHRC is not concerned with the truth.
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (04.05.11)
The UNHRC is a useless joke. The world already knows this.
27. Sapey has many reasons to querry committee members
Joe ,   Canada   (04.05.11)
When the author of the report expresses that he signed a misleading document, the least the UNHRC should do (if it was an objective agency interested not only in promoting justice but also in its own somewhat degraded reputation) would be to at least consult all committee members about reviewing the matter brought up by Goldstone. Playing with procedural arguments to leave the difamatory report untouched is not going to make the UNHRC regain the luster it lost long ago when it became the instrument of the proeminent human rights violators in the Middle-East dictatorships in such endeavours as the Durban Conference.
28. Shock horror....
Danny   (04.05.11)
who would have thought it.
29. #14-I think Colonel Kemp is absolutely correct
Ypip ,   Canada   (04.05.11)
30. Goldstone Report
Rodney Wilkinson ,   Perth Australia   (04.05.11)
The UN Human-rights Committee like hitler, obviously don't consider the Jews to be Humans, But of course, we have come to expect this from the UN. When it comes to Israel, the UN has censured them more than any other nation. Just as well God keeps record. I have read (The Book), Israel wins in the end. God Bless Israel, and Jerusalem, the Capital City of the whole world.
